Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. drives the ball up court agains the Denver Nuggets at the Toyota Center on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 in Houston. Houston won the game 124-103.He has been many things for the Rockets. He is their best catch-and-shoot option. He is their only effective point guard. He has become a more reliable facilitator, taking care of the ball better since returning from his injury. More than any of that, he was indispensable. The Rockets were 3-19 without him.
He has scored at least 20 points is in nine of the past 12 games, including each of the past five for the second-longest streak of his career. His 28 games scoring at least 20 points in his 58 games this season are one more than in the 137 games he played in his first three seasons combined. There is no question that Porter has taken pride in his role as the point guard. He has often cited the challenge to find the balance between initiating and finishing the Rockets offense, but clearly considers that his role.
He needs to be an aggressive scorer, and Silas said on Tuesday when Porter had 20 points with nine assists in a win against the Nuggets that he has been encouraging him to look for his shot. Porter has had at least three 3-pointers in each of his past five games, making 25 of 51 3s while averaging five per game in that stretch.
